Telling someone you love them for the first time can be a little scary. You don’t know if they feel the same way you do, and you don’t want to feel like a fool for saying it before they did. But, as terrifying as it can be, telling someone you love them is also the most exhilarating moment. It puts the words to the pounding you feel in your chest. It feels almost as if you don’t tell them that you love them that your heart might burst out of your chest.

I’m a fairly cautious person, but when it comes to love I often throw caution to the wind. Being in love and feeling loved is the best feeling in the world. It’s been said that the greatest thing is loving someone and being loved in return. So, no matter how scary it might be to go out on a limb and offer your heart on a silver platter to someone, it could also be one of the greatest things you’ll ever do.
